Chase Day #2: Messy...

I'm up at 7.00 to get sorted out, still not sleeping too well. I'm watching the Weather Channel and there are already storms just to the north of us and tornadoes are likely in our general area. Yey!

We go down for breakfast and are on the road by 10. Todd is less enthusiastic “too messy”. We finally head off to the delights of Wallmart to pick up provisions. Today's target is NE Kansas.

We stop for lunch at McDonalds and then head off towards Colorado, I'm not now feeling too confident about today, however a there is shear and a storm starts bubbling up at 16.00. We park up and watch the storm develop. It looks nice, and there is the odd bolt of lightening in the distance, and reports come in of GRAPEFRUIT size hail in the core. Conditions change and the storm runs out of fuel so that's that.

We head off east down the I70 and end up in a Super 8 hotel in WaKenny, Kansas. Dinner is in a beer free Pizza Hut and it's off to bed. I finally get wifi and do a couple of hours on the blog and bed by 1.30.

Total miles: 363

Cheers
